Has this site been hijacked by Microsoft

Many times today I have tried to read a link from the main page only to find my screen full of an advert from Micropsoft and no way to go except to open the advert. I have to go back two or three times before the advert goes away.

Unfortunately as it is not now possible to search the forums after the site "upgrade/improvement?" you are unable to find the several other posts on the intrusive advertising that PCAdvisor has embraced lately which means that a lot of people are being bothered by the ads. Get a good adblocker program. I use this.Stop annoy ads
